“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

“I meant what I said and I said what I meant.” From Dr Seuss – from Horton Hatches and Egg. Funny how these childhood stories can come back to us later in life and have a different and sometimes deeper meaning.

In this Dr Seuss story Horton has promised to watch an egg and even with the worst weather, conditions, being teased and humiliated, he stays on the egg. All because he made the promise and reminded himself that he was a person of his word.

Sounds so easy but how often do we slip away from our promise and dedication? Takes a lot to stay with a goal and often on the worst days stay with it. No it isn’t easy, many will criticize, but that is the day you put your feet on the floor and one foot in-front of another.
